I'm happy - but I feel mislead...
Remember: The Risia Ice Games are available Thursdays through Sundays in February!Turbine needs to do some serious tightening on the accuracy of Event info.

Aye, but I can't be angry because I'm just too happy that I can now put icy burst on my newly found +2 holy warhamer of weighted 5%. :D

I need to figure out where I can buy a Turbine calendar. Because clearly the one I'm using is different from theirs.

:)

[dragonruler]

Wait a second here......did I fall through the hot tub time machine and go back to February???

I is confuzzled :confused: :confused: :confused:

[Memnir]

Aye, but I can't be angry because I'm just too happy that I can now put icy burst on my newly found +2 holy warhamer of weighted 5%. :DI'm not mad at all - because I really enjoy the jumps... I just find it a shame that once again we have no idea what the real story in about an Event - and Turbine makes itself look amateurish by bungling basic information.


I guess that Turbine and Playstation bought the same Vocabulary Builder desk calendar, the attention to the proper date is a curious happenstance...

The word for today is: Meticulous.

There are servers for your kind. I hear codemasters runs them quite well ;)

[Kadran]

I hate the jumps personally, but I'm VERY glad they brought this back for another weekend. I would have been happy with just the risia alter (kind of like how the jester stays after the coins stop dropping.) I have several recipes I wanted to use.

[Jastron]

Good news indeed!

We have one guild member who just returned after a long absence and will now be able to get some upgrades. And the ski jump is different, fun to do something other than questing for a little bit :)

[dameron]

Well, the cocoa and skates have been on sale in the DDO store all week so this isn't much of a surprise.

[FauxSho]

Yes... yeeesss... /evil laugh.

Pleasant surprise, in my opinion. I had also assumed that they had ended based on the "February" in the announcements... which apparently is open to interpretation.

I was happy already with a couple weapons I picked up after I thought the games had ended... now I'll be happy to add more tasty treats to them.

[Skani]

Maybe "February 2011"? :p

Cool its back, got some recipes that I forgot to use.

ohh, low blow! :p

never did get the month/day/year thing, seems odd. i much prefer the year/month/day thing i've got used to in MySQL, at least it means dates are easy to sort :)

it's like the americans got half way there, but forgot about the changing year :)

any way, back on topic, taking bets the event will be pulled when turbine realise its turned its self on again :)

I'll take that bet. All of my recipes 6-12 are on the table.

[GeneralDiomedes]

So now I have to spend another weekend grinding for coins?

::grumble::

Another weekend = another 2 million plat in profit. I'm not complaining.

[HallowedOne]

This means to me...


A lot ... more ... jumping ... :eek:

[GeneralDiomedes]

We'll see .. people might have spent their load last weekend and/or upgraded their highest priority weapons already.

[Backley]

So giving-away my leftover recipe 3's and motes last Sunday night was not a good idea...

[tihocan]

Guess we can't really complain, but now I wish I hadn't been giving away motes and recipes on the "last day".

Translation: Someone forgot to turn them off after last weekend and now decided to make the best of it. :)

[Rindalathar]

You never know if they will really ever take out this stuff out permanantly.

Remember, the Devil Assault quest was supposed to be a limited time only deal too and was never taken out, even for little bit.
